Five games literally everyone wants.
Stronghold: Warriors – Firefly Studios
Firefly Studios are the brilliant minds behind the Stronghold game franchise, so it only makes sense that people are falling over themselves to get Stronghold: Warlords. Available March 9, Stronghold: Warlords appears to be a return to the historical real time strategy games that have been sorely missing in the last few years.
The next chapter in Firefly Studios’ real-time strategy series, Stronghold: Warlords is the first game to recreate the castle economies of East Asia. In Warlords players take command of Mongol hordes, imperial warriors and samurai clansmen as they lay siege to Japanese castles and fortified Chinese cities. Besiege historical warlords using new gunpowder-fuelled siege weapons and classic units across 31 campaign missions, multiplayer, skirmish and free build modes.
Lust From Beyond – Movie Games Lunarium
Lust From Beyond is a game from the folks behind Agony, a developer committed to proving that sexiness and horror can be contained within the same product. Most of the promo images are not safe for work or sanity and I keep accidentally referring to the title as “Lust From Behind.” A bit of a Freudian slip.
You are Victor Holloway, an antiquarian tormented by visions of a sinister land, where there’s no difference between pain and pleasure. To unravel the true meaning of your dreams, you join the esoteric Cult of Ecstasy.
Taste the cultist’s life from within. Get lost in its blasphemous and sexual customs. Find out what happens when the pleasures of this world stop being enough.
Discover the gates of Lusst’ghaa, the mythical Land of Ecstasy beyond the borders of reality or comprehension.

Forza Horizon 4 – Playground Games
Coming March 9, Forza Horizon 4 is a lesser known racing game from an independent studio. I’m just joking, literally everyone knows what Forza Horizon is. FH4 released originally in 2018 but this is part of Microsoft’s burgeoning strategy to make a lot of money by putting their games on the largest PC platform.
Dynamic seasons change everything at the world’s greatest automotive festival. Go it alone or team up with others to explore beautiful and historic Britain in a shared open world. Collect, modify and drive over 450 cars. Race, stunt, create and explore – choose your own path to become a Horizon Superstar.
Pick up a free copy of the Mitsubishi car pack while you’re there.
Cyanide & Happiness – Freakpocalypse – Skeleton Crew Studios
Freakpocalypse looks a bit like the guys at Explosm saw the South Park video game and said “I want that too.” For its merits, Freakpocalypse looks as true to the source material as Stick of Truth does to South Park. A point and click adventure game that is sure to be as funny as it is immature.
You play as Coop “Go Away, Weirdo” McCarthy and all you want to do is make the world a better place. The trouble is: Nobody likes you, school sucks, you can’t find a prom date, everybody bullies you (including your teachers), and your attempts to help only make things worse. Will you escape high school alive? Who will love you? Do you even deserve love? Why is this game called Freakpocalypse? Find the answers to these questions and more by looking at, talking to, and touching everything within the C&H universe.
Bloodroots – Paper Cult
Bloodroots tastes like Hotline Miami in a heavily stylized world. Kill, be killed, and keep trying until you succeed. Launches March 12.
One-hit kill die-retry murder ballet. Chain deadly combos by improvising your kills with utterly everything you can get your hands on: from carrots to plasma guns. Die and retry until you carve your way to vengeance in this fast-paced one-hit kill beat ’em up.
Betrayed and left for dead, Mr. Wolf is hell-bent on finding his killer and enacting revenge – alone, and vastly outnumbered.
